I hate the political element of it all. Henderson and Terence Trent D'arby seem like they've been picked to please lfc fans and their media. I hate that.

That was pretty much confirmed by Jim Shite saying he'd be embarrassed if the scouser wasn't picked as he had been saying all day he was included.

Four right backs Gareth? Four? That's insane.

Ward-Prowse and Lingard can feel very hard done to.

Here you go...

Absolutely agree by the way. Ward-Prowse in particular if you want TAA or Trippier for their set piece abilities, because he's just as good as either of them. But Lingard has had a great season and is the sort of player that can make something happen, so he'd be a great substitute to bring on.

Greenwood injured . lol. BS.
told he's not been picked the rag PR machine kicks in. no no he's injured , he would love to go.

We're going with a Back 5 and 2 holding midfielders aren't we? That plus the keeper and obviously Kane upfront leaves 2 spots for mount, foden, Grealish, Sancho, sterling and Rashford, possibly even just the 1 as I think he will be loyal to sterling for at least the groups.

 

[Vienna_70]

So we're taking 4 centre backs for 2 positions(possibly 3)with one being injured, 5 midfielders for 3 positions with one being injured and hasn't played in that position for an entire year, one a 17 year old kid and one that he's tended to play further forward, and then 4 right backs.

I see nothing but balance there...

I've not been a southgate hater although I've doubted his ability but fuck me if a squad was to ever scream "I don't know what I'm doing" it's this.

One of the most talented pool of players to pick from in a lifetime and that's what he goes with. It's actually laughable. I'd sooner have fucking Ole taking charge if he thinks that's a squad capable of winning.

If I was an England player that was drained or perhaps could do with an op, I'd be pulling out and skipping this train wreck. We're going out early and it's going to be brutal.

As much as I hate the Warrington weasel, I’d be really fucking pissed off at being left out for Trent Darby or St Jordan.

4 right backs.
ok.

 

[Cityzen_89]

Southgate is completely out of his depth. 4 rb's? Why? We will be out in the knockout stages and he will be sacked afterwards.

Quite.

He just had to pick Alexander-Arnold didn’t he? He just had to.

This squad is a PR pleaser. Nothing to do with form or being deserving. Fuck him the scouse pleasing prick.
